I have a dream!

No, I'm not trying to emulate MLK, but I got an idea the other day. Forever I have wanted a set of Kenwood Supreme 700's, and yesterday I got 1 step closer by winning a 700m off ebay. Thats when the idea hit me: why stop at just the supremes? Why not build a Vintage Kenwood Dream system. I kinda got the idea from Alexkerheads Pioneer dream system thread. So today, I won a Kenwood KD-750 turntable, which apart from being rare and beautiful, it's actually a very nice table.

So, now that I have come up with the idea of the 700m, 700c, 700t and KD-750, all I have left is to figure out a CD player (which I think I'll go with something new, probably not Kenwood) and speakers. My first instinct for speakers is a pair of Thiel c3.6's, but I'm still open to suggestions on that as well as the cd player and any opinions on this half cocked idea. What do you guys think?

Great speakers, but I'd look for Carver Amazing Loudspeakers. The ne plus ultra would be the incredible Carver Amazing Platinum IV with FOUR 12-inch SUBwoofers and a fullrange 5-foot ribbon.
 
Dream Kenwood Speakers

Honestly... if I was building a dream Kenwood system, I'd couple it with the Kenwood speakers I just scored last weekend.. Great SPL's !!!! Not to mention rare like that TT...

(yes, this was yet another gratitous display... These thing sound phenomenal! not to mention look cool.. . )
 
Have you all noticed that everything that was just badass that Kenwood made, had the number seven somehow assocciated to it? Wonder what thats all about??:scratch2:
 
My dream system has the same brand speakers, you need to know kenwood made some badass speakers!

The trio series is nice, real wood veneer with good audio quality.

The ones you posted look amazing, i'll keep my eyes open for you for some trios though.
 
I believe the Kenwood D-3300 is the holy grail of Kenwood cd players. Just my $0.02.
 
Marantzfan: Congrats on your new Kenwood 700M and TT. I have the 700M/C and they serve as my "reference" system. I play mine with Yamaha NS-1000M's. The 1000M's reward great amps and the 700M/C does the same with great speakers. IMO, a perfect match. I play the Magnavox CDB-650 which is smooth and neutral sounding. About the best recommendation I can give is I do not notice the CDB-650 in operation. Best, Sam.
